You guys!!!!!! I am feeling like such an utter half wit at the moment!!!!
Preface- When I was young, I was a damn good speller (I was even a contender for the school spelling but purposefully spelled some words wrong so I didn't have to be in front a crowd). And then I took Spanish in high school, and that skill literally went out the window, it was actually quite strange.
ANYWAYS, I am teaching my classes vocabulary about dining out, and one of the words was dessert. I just had a class, and one of my smarter students was like "oh, ta lai sai" which is desert in Thai. And I was like "almost! But not quite" Then I turn to the board and lo and behold she is completely correct and I have been teaching the incorrect spelling to all my classes thus far this week........
I am SUCH a halfwit, and rather embarrassed!!!! Such is life, I am sorry my sweet students.
PS typing on a phone is THE worst
